Inisturk Island, Co. Mayo

August 13, 2016Saturday PAST-EVENT

Inishturk is a small beautiful island, 5km x 2.5km, located 9 miles (14.5km) off the west coast of Mayo, between the islands of Inishbofin and Clare Island . It rises boldly from the wild North Atlantic in wall like-cliffs to the north-west and steep hills to the north on which stands the ruins of the old Napoleonic signal tower 688 ft above sea level.
Inishturk, meaning ‘the Island of the Wild Boar’ in Irish, has been inhabited on and off since 4,000BCE and in its present phase since at least 1700. The old settlers seem to have congregated at the southwest corner round the beautiful little harbour of Portdoon , where there is ample archeological evidence of their presence.

Thank you very much lads for making our day.
We were so lucky to come across you in Cork last year. Everyone is looking forward to having you back in Wales. Hope you take the fuzzy van back with you. It was a nice surprise on the day.
